Checking out Bocas del Toro, Panama
I’m in Panama, you know the country, checking out a friend’s property that he may turn into a coworking getaway. It’s pretty dope, situated amongst the tropical lazy islands of Bocas del Toro in the northwestern part of the country close to the Costa Rican border. It’s as beautiful a spot as you’d expect in the tropics and very peaceful, not overrun with tourists. Here’s a quick video I threw together of getting there:
And I’ve been taking tons of photos. Feel free to peruse the set on Flickr.

Big Wheel fun again!
San Francisco’s annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel event took place yesterday in my neck of the urban woods. Here’s a quick video I shot of the action before straddling a pink Barbie Extreme Cycle for a couple heats (thanks Ali!). Scott has the usual assortment of awesome pix and links over at his blog.
Rock Band the video
When pal Randi Jayne says she’s making a video, there simply is no way of saying no. This epic dorky fun video debuted at a SXSW Interactive party for the game Rock Band. It’s always fun working with Randi. I shot the inside living room scenes at beginning and end.

Epic Win in SF
Irina and I went down and covered the Anonymous protests of Scientology in San Francisco. This was only one of dozens or hundreds held simultaneously around the world on Feb. 10th. Not much mainstream media coverage which is fine because our coverage rules, obviously.
A Cheap Date with Veronica Belmont
The second video I did with pal Veronica for Mahalo Daily is up today. It’s on everyone’s favorite subject, cheap dates. I was lucky enough to be Veronica’s cheap date and run around town to places like the SF Giants ball park, the wine bar (cheap if you sip slowly!) and Alamo Square park for a picnic and some hawt geocache action. Yes, that’s me playing the voice of a dork named Bobbie who V rejects flatly like a square of toilet paper stuck to her shoe. 🙁 I know, keep my day job.

Interviewed for Adobe Edge
I was asked to come up with a couple questions for Adobe Edge, a monthly newsletter aimed at users & developers of Adobe products. I asked about the compatibility of Quicktime in the new Adobe Flash Player now that is supports h.264. They gave me the right answer. No embed in their player unfortunately (!!), so you’ll have to link through to see it.
Lawrence Lessig’s brilliant Obama video
Preeminent law professor and Internet’s best friend Lawrence Lessig released this brilliant video on why he’s choosing Obama over Hillary. It’s done in Lessig’s unique powerpoint presentation style and reinforces why I love this man’s brain. Very much worth the 20 minutes.
Coming together for Obama
Here’s the second video in the series that Ryan Junell and I produced in support of Barack Obama. Ryan illustrated and animated this, he pulled in some friends for the character voices and type treatment, I came up with the script.

Showcasing ANSI Art
This was a fun one. Kevin Olson and Chris Abad invited Irina and I to stop by the 20 goto 10 gallery for the opening of their ANSI art show.
